We are not talking about voter ID laws. You have to be a citizen to register to vote. Do you want to answer the question in good faith?

In some of those locations non-citizens can vote in local elections, like Maryland and San Francisco. Also in some of those locations you get registered by the DMV, like California, and non citizens mistakenly have voted in Federal elections (which is a crime).

Note I am not endorsing the latter as it can come up in future citizenship applications.
